Leave Me Alpha [#6]
Chapter 21

Asher’s p.o.v

This is all going wrong. Yes I wanted her to reject Holden, but they’ll know now. They’ll know that she likes me. That she’s happy with me. And then they’ll come and take her.

“Okay. Asher, you’ve made your border stronger. What we need is to get the spy. The traitor.” Tyler says and I nod.

“And I know how to do that. It’s someone close to me. Someone who knows me well. And that’s only a few people.” I say leaning back on the chair, crossing my arms.

“Who?” Emily asks, on the edge of her seat.

“Holden, Selena, sweetheart, and you two. But you wouldn’t do tha-”

“Aww! We’re close to Asher” Emily exclaims, and I roll my eyes, knowing my face was heating up. This is fucked up man.

“I meant that you know things about me, that my pack doesn’t know. They don’t know a lot. Ands that’s it. I don’t get close to people.” Emily nods.

“So it’s either Holden or Selena. Layla wouldn’t put herself in danger, and why would we be here, helping you, it’s us” Tyler says and I nod.

“Holden and Selena? But I’ve known them for a while. I met Selena through Holden. And Holden is the beta of this pack” I say.

“Fuck off” I hear sweethearts voice. She’s in my room. This room blocks everyone’s scents. It doesn’t let anyone smell you, until the bookshelf ends. It blocks your scent.

“Fuck off? No you fuck off. You’re taking Asher away from me” I hear Rachel screech.

I stand up, but Emily shakes her head.

“Don’t. That girl will know about this place” I nod, and we walk closer to the door.

“Are you serious? Asher is mine. Not yours. He’s with me” I smile.

Sweetheart is possessive. I like it.

“No he’s not. Not for long. He’ll be mine. He’ll have to be mine” Rachel says.

“Who’s Rachel to you?” Emily asks and I cough. They can’t hear you outside this room as well, it’s soundproof.

“Rachel?” I question rubbing the back of my neck.

“Yeah?”

“My ex. But it wasn’t anything. It was just to you know..” I mumble

“It doesn’t look like anything. She’s keen on getting you. How long did you date her?” Emily asks

“1 year” she nods

“And she must know things about you. She’s one of our suspects” Emily says, crossing her arms.

“I hate that bitch” I hear sweetheart mumble, and the door closes.

Rachel left. Sweetheart’s still here.

“Let’s go” I say but Emily grabs my hand, before I can turn the door knob.

“The vase. It’s on your bed. So Layla must have taken it and put it back. The camera is still in there. I’m not sure though” she says

“I’ll read her mind. If sh-” we here the door bang. Sweetheart’s gone.

I turn the door knob, and look at my bed. The towel is still covering the vase.

I walk out of the room with them behind me.

“I’ll call all three of them. We’ll pretend to decorate the house. There’s three suspects. And three of us. Tyler you’ll be with Holden, Emily you’ll be with Rachel, and I’ll be with Selena. Pretend to ask them questions” I say and they both nod.

“Oh. And be careful okay. One of them might be carrying the cameras with them. And they’ll be better now” Emily says and I nod, walking out of the room.

Selena, Holden and Rachel. Meet me in my house. Now! I mindlink them all.

Yes Alpha. They reply

I walk downstairs and see Vincent and sweetheart. She’s laughing. I smile. She’s happy, and that’s all I ask for.

“Asher” Vincent says, and I pull my gaze away from sweetheart and look at him.

“Yes?”

“Did grandma tell you about what’s going to happen?” I nod

“They’re on their way.” I say just as the door opens and all three of them walk in.

“Alpha” Holden says.

“Asher! I haven’t seen you ever since the theme park!” Selena exclaims hugging me tightly.

“I know. You guys are my best friends, and I want you to help me with decorating the house” I say removing her arms around my neck.

“This is perfect. I can help with so many things. I have so much styles for you to choose from” Rachel says smiling at me and I nod.

“Holden, you’ll be with Tyler, and you both will be doing the living room. Selena you’ll be with m-” Sweetheart growls lowly, so low that nobody heard it. Except me and Emily.

“You’ll be with me. And we’ll be doing my room. And Rachel and Emily will be doing, the other rooms, the rooms Emily know. Vincent Hailey and sweetheart, can be in the kitchen. It doesn’t need changing but you could change things around. Make it look different” I say looking at sweetheart, who’s sat on the couch, glaring at me.

“Have you even got anything to work with?” Holden asks and I roll my eyes at him.

“I’ve been wanting to change the wallpaper for a couple of months now. I have it all in the storage room. Selena, do you want to come and give me a hand?” I ask and she nods smiling.

“Let’s go” I say and she follows me to the storage room, opposite my office.

“Why do you want to change everything Asher?” She asks, holding a few wallpaper rolls in her arms.

“I’ve been meaning to change it. You don’t have to work with me, if you don’t want too. I could get sweetheart to co-” she shakes her head quickly

“No. I’ll work with you. We don’t spend any time together now” we never did.

I only met Selena through Holden. Yes I know everyone in the park, and they are my second priority, but that doesn’t mean I become friends with them. But Selena, I made an exception with her. She’s was my sisters best friend. And Holden’s little sister.

“Asher? Asher are you listen to me?” She says and I nod

“Sorry. Yeah, let’s go to my room.” I say just as I see sweetheart behind her.

“Asher, can I have a word?” She says and I shake my head. Selena’s staring at me.

“Sorry, sweetheart. I’m busy. Come on Selena” I say picking up the rolls of wallpaper and walking past sweetheart.

She’s angry that I didn’t choose to be with her. She’s angry that I didn’t pick her. She’s and get that I picked Selena.

I remember when I took sweetheart on our first date. I was fucking terrified. I have always had this fear of a theme park, since I was a little kid. But I knew that sweetheart loves theme parks, and especially rides.

And I did it. I did it for her. And when she went to the ‘toilet’ and came back, she saw me with Selena. Selena insisted that I wrap my arm around her shoulder, a way to let all the boys know that she can’t be taken. I did it because I saw fear in her eyes. Maybe it was fake? I don’t know now. I can’t trust my so called friends now.

And sweetheart? She was furious,that I was with Selena. And I loved it. I loved it so much. And I know that’s what she’s feeling now. She’s furious. Extremely furious.

I walk inside my room, and look around. I don’t really want to do this now. It’s going to take hours. Maybe days. But I will be finishing this tonight. And I’ll replace out if it’s Selena who’s the spy.

“Let’s get started!” She exclaims, closing the door behind her.

“Yep” I mumble.

8 hours until midnight. 8 hours with Selena. Fuck me.
